ex-BR Class 11 Shunter 12082 rests by the stop block for the reception sidings to the former Cobra Railfreight steel terminal in Whitham Sidings on 28 May 1996. These sidings are at a lower level alongside Wakefield Kirkgate station. The reception sidings run alongside the non platform line by Platform 3. The terminal is now occupied by Hanson Aggregates, but, despite still being rail connected with lines running both inside and by the building, is presently supplied by road transport.
